A 33 year old man undergoes a partial hepatectomy when he donates part of his liver who has liver failure following end stage liver disease due to hepatities B infection he makes a good recovery and?

Unless your liver is diseased or fatty it has tremendous regenerative powers. When a person is a living donor it usually takes about six weeks for the liver to regenerate itself. The biggest danger occurs in the first few weeks. As part of the operation, the hospital makes the stomach non acidic. It can no longer kill the bacteria normally eaten with food. It is extremely dangerous for the donor to eat anything other than sterile food. After six weeks, the donor has a normal liver as if nothing happened. The main difference is the large scar.

Hepatitis B is now curable. The new liver will not cure the disease. It will still require treatment.

Common causes of elevated liver enzymes include: O Side effect of medication, such as certain nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), cholesterol medications, antibiotics or anti-seizure medications O Drinking alcohol O Obesity O Diabetes O Elevated triglycerides O Infection, such as viral hepatitis and mononucleosis O Autoimmune disorders of the liver and bile ducts, such as autoimmune hepatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis or primary biliary cirrhosis O Metabolic liver disease, such as hemochromatosis or Wilson's disease O Excessive use of certain herbal supplements, such as kava, comfrey, pennyroyal or skullcap O Gallstones O Tumors of the liver, pancreas or bile ducts Bibligraphy: Elevated liver enzymes: What does it mean?. 2006/7. Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMER). I had the same problem and this is what my doctor said: O Alcohol O Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis or NASH O Tylenol or some other medication O Hepatitis C Virus O Fat Anyways, if you had only one blood test then the doctor will take another blood test in about a month or so. If the enzymes are still elevated, then he might choose to take another test or try to find the problem. You may want to limit any kind of alcohol beverages or stop some medications before taking the retest so that your enzymes decrease.

What is released by the liver to digest fats?

note: The liver does not digest fats at all. The stomach will digest the fats. Livers only filter the fatty acids left over by the fat. Stomachs digest fats with an acid called Gastric acid.

Gastric acid is a digestive fluid, formed in the stomach. It has a pH of 1.5 to 3.5 and is composed of hydrochloric acid (HCl) (around 0.5%, or 5000 parts per million), and large quantities of potassium chloride (KCl) and sodium chloride (NaCl). The acid plays a key role in digestion of proteins, by activating digestive enzymes, and making ingested proteins unravel so that digestive enzymes can break down the long chains of amino acids.

Gastric acid is produced by cells lining the stomach, which are coupled to systems to increase acid production when needed. Other cells in the stomach produce bicarbonate, a base, to buffer the fluid, ensuring that it does not become too acidic. These cells also produce mucus, which forms a viscous physical barrier to prevent gastric acid from damaging the stomach. Cells in the beginning of the small intestine, or duodenum, further produce large amounts of bicarbonate to completely neutralize any gastric acid that passes further down into the digestive tract. Bolus (masticated food) enters the stomach through the oesophagus via the oesophageal sphincter. The stomach releases proteases (protein-digesting enzymes such as pepsin) and hydrochloric acid, which kills or inhibits bacteria and provides the acidic pH of two for the proteases to work. Food is churned by the stomach through muscular contractions of the wall -- reducing the volume of the fundus, before looping around the fundus[3] and the body of stomach as the boluses are converted into chyme (partially digested food). Chyme slowly passes through the pyloric sphincter and into the duodenum, where the extraction of nutrients begins. Depending on the quantity and contents of the meal, the stomach will digest the food into chyme anywhere between forty minutes and a few hours.

What liver enzyme metabolizes medications?

Can you force an alcoholic into treatment legally if they have been drinking non stop for days and are on disability for an incurable liver disease?

You might be able to petition the courts to have the alcoholic "committed" to a mental institution. Obviously, the behavior is equivalent to suicide and as such qualifies under the category of being an imminent threat to himself. Many states allow for a 3 day commitment for evaluation. Talk to a lawyer or judge if you want to pursue that option. See if it's possible in your state.

What are the effects of alcohol on a previously damaged liver?

Alcohol can have negative consequences for the liver, particularly a liver that has been previously damaged.

Since the liver is responsible for metabolizing alcohol, forcing it to metabolize alcohol further is like asking someone who is nearly blind to read a small sign at a distance--difficult to do.

Liver problems associated with chronic alcohol consumption include:

1. Fatty liver- alcohol causes the accumulation of fat in the liver cells. Most liver cells die as a result of fat being stored in them

2. Hepatitis- inflammation of the liver from the use of alcohol, which can result in liver failure

3. Cirrhosis of the liver- alcohol kills liver cells. It causes the development of scar tissues on the liver, leading to liver failure.

What is the pre-cooked weight of a White Castle hamburger patty?

.70 ounces Actually, it is 2 ounces. I am suspicious of the 2-ounce figure. The entire weight of the hamburger, cooked and including the bun, according to White Castle, is 58 grams, or about 2 ounces (see the serving size column in the nutritional info page at http://www.whitecastle.com/_pages/nutrition.asp). Perhaps the weight of the bun, pickles, etc. exactly counterbalances the weight lost by the patty in cooking, but I doubt it.

According to wikipedia, in white castle's former process (before there were holes in the patties) there were 18 patties per pound of beef, so the pre-cooked weight of one patty would have been 16/18 or 0.89 ounces. (it also says forty to a kilogram, which is 25 grams or .88 ounces). There's no way it's 2 ounces anyway - 2 ounces is the PCW of a standard-sized patty at most other fast food restaurants. A quarter of a pound is 4 ounces, and we all know what a QP patty (Whopper or McRoyal) looks like.

How can you properly shutdown Windows 98SE when you get a sign saying Windows is shutting down that hangs there until you manually push the off switch?

I had this problem consistently occur with my PC and this operating system. As I remember it appeared to occur after I installed a new modem (or some other hardware). I found that even though I had to turn the PC off at the switch it did not appear to be causeing any other issue eg corrupting the harddrive (which would be evidenced by a scandisk occurring at next boot up).

If in your case it is causing no problems other than being annoying I wouldn't worry about it. Did you always have this problem or did it coincide with the installation of some hardware and\or software.

You could spend a lot of time trying to solve the issue and still not fix it. It is nice to have your PC working perfectly but sometimes you just have to live with these things. There may just not be a fix.

Keep in mind that Microsoft no longer supports this operating system, and hence a lot of application and hardware providers won't be bothering with this OS either so you wouldn't now what affect installing new applications will have on this old OS.

Another solution is to upgrade :)

AnswerThere is full information on Win98SE shutdown problems at http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/q238096/ It cured my problems AnswerYou may solve this problem by accessing in Control Panel > PM

Adjust the settings

Or go to your Boards Bios > APM or Power settings

Answergo to control pannel System Devices open system remove Advanced power management or APM Witchever restart it will reinstall it "usually fixes the problem the VXD can get corrupt from power loss if someone just unpluged your computer ETC it will do that"Bonkerz T Bobcat Rebuild & Programed Computers for 5 years now Still not the GURU yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Answerthere are many FREE softwares availiable on the net to do this job.if other things whiich you might try doesnt fix your problem then you should download one of these softwares.an example of softwares like this is REBOOTER which forcefully shuts down the computer.i used this software and it totally solved my proclem.
